About the book: 1987 / A brilliant work of the detective genre. A group of students goes to the mountains for a picnic on New Year's Eve, staying in a country house. Everything is going great, but suddenly they discover one of them (the most popular girl) murdered with a knife in her chest. A blizzard is raging outside, they are cut off from the city and realize that only one of them could be the killer... But who? The story is written in the original manner - the book is divided into chapters told from the perspective of each of the characters, and the reader’s suspicions gradually shift from one to another character.
